Sheep Breeds

Sheep is a very familiar domestic animal. Dry weather and cold area is very suitable for sheep farming. The main characteristics of sheep is that their body is fully covered with fur. Their skin and fur is very valuable. Sheep are not highly milk productive like goat. There are about 200 sheep breeds around the world. Sheep breeds are of three types according to their production which are described below.

Marino sheep originated from Spain. But nowadays Marino sheep farming spread throughout the world. They are very famous for hair production. Male sheep produce about 8-15 kg and female produce about 5-10 kg wool per year. Wool is very long and high quality.

Dorset is absolutely good for meat production purpose. Nowadays classifieds are playing a very important role for marketing any products. So you can search your local classifieds for pure breed and marketing your products. You can also search your local livestock market for pure Dorset breed. Thank you!

First of thanking you that you are edifying people in this field.Sir can i get merino sheep in himachal pradesh . I have a farm in Solan .and what is the average procurement cost per sheep? and how much wool does it yeild per annum, because one of my acquaintance has said that a sheep( dont know which breed produces 400-500 gm of wool per annum. So after knowing this I became apprehensive that whether this business is profitable or not. thanx

On an average, a Merino sheep can produce upto 5 kg fleece of 18 to 22 micron wool annually. And it’s absolutely a profitable business. We don’t know any Merino sheep breeders in Himachal Pradesh. You can contact with your local or county agricultural extension office. They might help you finding Merino sheep in your area. Thank you!

OK. That’s good! Please let us know how can we help you. What type of goats you want to raise? That means, what is your production purpose? Milk or meat? Determine your business purpose and let us know. Thank you!

OK. First of all you have to make a good and effective business plan. Then consider purchasing some highly meat productive goat breeds. Usually we suggest Boer, Beetal, Black Bengal, Sirohi, Sojat etc. for commercial meat production purpose. You can also consider any other local or foreign breeds which are suitable for meat production. Make a good shelter or house for your goats. Vaccinate your goats timely and always try to feed them fresh and quality foods. It will be better if you can ensure a fresh green food source for your goats. You can plant quality grass or plants in your land as a constant food supply source. Note that, this is the most important part of commercial meat goat farming business. Sufficient green foods will reduce the feeding costs and increase the meat quality at the same time. Visit any farms in your area, if possible. Visiting some farms practically will help you to understand this business. Thank you!

Sheep are not suitable for good amount of milk production purpose. You can choose Bannur, Cheviot, Deccani, Merino or any other local breeds for meat production. And we have mentioned previously that ‘we can’t tell the current price of sheep in your area’. You have to visit any livestock market or some farms in your area to know the current price. Thank you!
